Reply to comment by gaukonigshofen in UK Government orders all poultry to be kept indoors indefinitely in an effort to prevent farmed bird and human exposure to avian influenza by GarlicCornflakes
The point of keeping them indoors is to prevent the disease from reaching the chickens in the first place via other birds flying in and commingling with them outdoors.

Migratory birds are the real victims here. There’s some 4+ billion birds migrating in and out of Europe and the UK right now, many whose numbers have taken decades to recover after human interaction in the past.
This strain of HPAI comes from farmed poultry, and it is going to destroy the diversity and ecosystems all over the world.
